  • "Dramatizes the romantic and artistic conflicts between four characters: the ingenue Nina, the fading actress Irina Arkadina, her son the symbolist playwright Konstantin Treplyov, and the famous middlebrow story writer Trigorin, Arkadina's lover."
  • "The Seagull, a spectacular failure on its first appearance, was the play that, on its second, established Anton Chekhov as an important and revolutionary dramatist. Here, amid 'the weariness of life in the country', the famous actress Arkadina presides over a household riven with desperate love, with dreams of success and dread of failure. It is her son, Konstantin, who one day shoots a seagull; it is the novelist, Trigorin, who will one day write the story of the seagull so casually killed; but it is Nina, 'the seagull' herself, whose life to come will rewrite the story. Tom Stoppard has made this English version for the Peter Hall Company at the Old Vic (Spring 1997), and has added an introduction which indicates some of the problems translators have faced since the first English language Seagull in 1909."@en

  • "Celebrated for his realistic characters, dialogue, and situations, Chekhov was inspired by a real-life incident to create this 1896 work that ultimately established him a major dramatist. Between his ambitious literary aspirations and his overpowering love for Nina, a would-be actress, young Konstantin Gavrilovich Trepliov encounters frustration at every turn. A private performance of his play evokes derisive laughter from the audience, and Nina is increasingly drawn to Trigorin, a successful writer and paramour of Trepliov's mother. In despair, Trepliov kills a gull, proffers it to Nina as a symbol of his blasted expectations, and then attempts suicide. Students of literature and drama, theater devotees, and any lover of Chekhov will applaud this inexpensive edition of a tragic masterpiece."
  • "'We need the theatre, couldn't, couldn't do without it. Could we?' A successful actress visits her brother's isolated estate far from the city, throwing the frustrated residents unfulfilled ambitions into sharp relief. As her son attempts to impress with a self-penned play, putting much more than his pride at stake, others dream of fame, love and the ability to change their past. Chekhov's darkly comic masterpiece is reignited for the 21st century by one of the most exciting new voices in British Theatre, Anya Reiss, Winner of the Most Promising Playwright at both th."@en
